I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

"Hylocereus, come back and rest." Xiao Mao decisively recalled Hylocereus.

On this kind of terrain, Breloom has a hard time dealing with Kingdra. Kingdra stays in the water the whole time, so if Breloom wants to hit Kingdra, it needs to go into the water, which puts it at a disadvantage.

Adam watched as Gary retrieved his Breloom, and immediately thought of Gardevoir, which gave him a headache.

"Gardedoll, you deal with Kingdra." Gary sent out Gardevoir again.

"What a tough Pokémon to deal with! Kingdra uses Agility to get close to Gardevoir." Although Gardevoir is difficult to deal with, Adam, as the Gym Leader, certainly cannot admit defeat.

Kingdra moved swiftly across the water, its figure flashing constantly, giving Gardevoir no chance to lock onto it.

"Gardedor, use Dazzling Magic!" Gary commanded.

"What?!"

Gardevoir immediately cast Glitter, and pink light shone across the entire field.

The Dragon King, bathed in the magical light, showed a pained expression.

"Use the Whirlwind to block the Magic Flash," Adam commanded immediately.

Despite the pain, Kingdra created a vortex to envelop itself, blocking the dazzling magical light from the outside. Kingdra also controlled the vortex to attack Gardevoir.

"Strong mental thoughts!"

Gardevoir's eyes glowed blue, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted forth. Instantly, a vortex tore open, and the Kingdra hiding inside was blasted away.

"Such powerful psychic strength!" Adam was also surprised. He thought Gardevoir was only at the Gym level, but he didn't expect its Psychic to be so powerful, even able to break through Tide Whirl.

“…Hypnosis,” Xiao Mao commanded.

call out!

Gardevoir teleported in front of Kingdra, its eyes glowing blue, and a hypnotic wave spread out. Kingdra was hit by the hypnotic wave, and its eyelids began to droop, but it did not fall asleep. It only struggled for a few seconds before waking up.

Gary didn't expect the hypnosis to work; he mainly wanted to buy time. In those few seconds, Gardevoir's Magic Glitter was fully formed, radiating a pink fairy light. Then, Gardevoir crashed directly into Kingdra.

"Ma!!"

With a gentle bump, the Thorn Dragon King cried out in pain, its body hurtling backward on the water's surface, and it was sent flying more than ten meters away.

Kingdra surfaced, its eyes darting around.

"Kingdra is unable to fight, Gardevoir wins," Sebastian said.

Kingdra is a pity. Its attributes are extremely excellent, with only two weaknesses. Its Swift Swim ability is also very good, and its base stats of 540 are also very high, but its base stat distribution is too poor.

Kingdra, with a base stat total of 540, has no stat exceeding 100 in any category. Its Attack and Defense stats are both 95, its HP is 75, and its Speed ​​is 85, making its stats too evenly distributed.

"King Thorn Dragon, come back."

Adam calmly recalled King Thorn Dragon and then sent out the next Elf.

"Well... here comes my fourth contestant, go, King Catfish."

Adam throws the Poké Ball.

Great!!

【LV43 King Catfish♂/Gym】

A fat catfish fell into the water. The King Catfish, which has both water and land attributes, is quite good, but Shigeru had used Brewmaster before.

Adam actually dared to send out King Catfish, he really doesn't take Shigeru's Breath of the Windmill seriously.

"Gardevoir, come back." Upon seeing the Gryphon, Gary promptly recalled Gardevoir.

Adam remained calm, but he knew in his heart that Gary would definitely send out Bressilizers, but Adam was wrong.

"Sceptile, it's your turn!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

432: Latios appears

Great...!

【LV46 Lizard King♂/Heavenly King】

“Sceptile…!” Adam frowned. He didn’t understand why Gary had sent out a new Grass-type Pokémon when Brewmaster had only sent out Breloom and Breloom had only been hit by a Blizzard and could have continued fighting.

"Little Gary, why not use a Mushroom?" Adam asked.

"Because the 'Bulbasaur' is difficult to move in this kind of environment, and I don't like to waste time, it's better to finish quickly," Xiao Shigeru replied.

“I see. Then let me see just how fast your Lizard King is. Bring it on,” Adam said.

Shigeru glanced at the grumpy-looking King Catfish and commanded, "Sceptile, use Energy Ball."

The Lizard King opened its mouth and spat out a bright green energy ball that attacked the Catfish King.

"King Catfish, use Surf!" Adam commanded.

The Catfish King slapped the water with its fins, and the water seemed to be manipulated by telekinesis, turning directly into a ten-meter-high wave. The Catfish King then rode on the wave and charged towards the Lizard King.

The energy ball didn't automatically chase after the wave; it crashed straight into the wave, creating a hole but not stopping it. The wave then fell towards the Lizard King.

"It's right at the tail end of the current!"

The Catfish King leaped off the waves, its tail enveloped in a curtain of water, and slashed down at the Lizard King.

"Leaf Blade!"

Upon hearing the sound, Lizard King 160 transformed the leaf on his wrist into a green blade of light, and with a sudden burst of power from his legs, leaped high into the air, wielding the leaf blade at the falling Catfish King.

Bah! !

The blade collided with the catfish king's tail. Due to gravity, the lizard king was slightly weaker and was knocked back to the ground. At the same time, the water wave fell, sending the lizard king flying several meters away.

Adam has been a trainer for decades, so he's quite skilled.

At least for now, Shigeru doesn't know how to counter King Catfish's Wave Ride attack mode.

King Catfish can ride the waves to reach its opponent and launch an attack. This means the opponent has to face not only King Catfish's attack but also the surfing attack. When Lizard King jumps up to meet King Catfish, it lacks the power of a downward fall and cannot gain an advantage in the direct confrontation.

"King Catfish, Surf!" Adam launched another attack.

The Catfish King flapped its fins and rode the waves again, charging towards the Lizard King, intending to repeat the same move.

"Use the Leaf Blade to cut off the surf, ignore the King Catfish," Gary commanded.

"twitter!!"

The Lizard King charged towards the waves alone, and with a swipe of its hands, an X-shaped opening appeared in the waves. The Lizard King passed through the opening and successfully broke through the Catfish King's attack pattern.

The wave was breached and could no longer advance, so it began to descend. The catfish king also fell off the wave. Shigeru seized the opportunity and commanded, "Use Quick Attack to get close to the catfish king, then use Shadow Clone, and then attack with Leaf Blade."

Whoosh! !

The Lizard King transformed into a streak of green light and charged towards the Catfish King.

Upon seeing this, Adam immediately commanded, "Stop it with mud bombs."

The falling catfish king immediately spewed out mud bombs, but none of them hit the lizard king. The lizard king passed through the range of the mud bombs and arrived below the catfish king.

The Catfish King was dumbfounded. Looking at the clones below, it couldn't tell which one was the Lizard King. The Catfish King wished it could fly away.

The Lizard Kings below all had green blades of light appearing on their wrists, and they all leaped into the sky. Countless leaf blades slashed at the Catfish King, but only one leaf blade hit the Catfish King's abdomen.

boom! !

"Catfish!!"

The Kingjaw cried out in pain. Its abdomen is the most vulnerable part of a fish-type Pokémon, and Kingjaw is especially vulnerable to Grass-type moves. When Leaf Blade hits its vital spot, it immediately rendered Kingjaw unable to retaliate.

Pfft! !

The catfish king landed on the water's surface, splashing up a large spray of water. Its body quickly rose to the surface, its eyes already circling around.

"The Catfish King is incapacitated; the Lizard King wins!" Sebastian declared.

Although Sebastian remained expressionless, he was inwardly quite surprised.

The Sooto Gym is recognized by the Hoenn League as the strongest gym and is the final hurdle to the Hoenn Tournament. Adam's strength goes without saying.

Defeating Adam is extremely difficult; most trainers, even if they win, will only achieve a narrow victory.

And Shigeru hasn't lost a single Pokémon so far; he's on track to shut out Adam completely.

"As expected of a trainer chosen by Mikuri, then for the last Pokémon... I'll use my main Pokémon to battle you," Adam said.

“Great! I’m really looking forward to Mr. Adam’s main Pokémon making its appearance,” said Shigeru.

The big one is coming!

I want to see just how powerful Milotic is, the one that can give Pikachu a hard time.

"The Pokémon I'm about to bring out is my best partner, having accompanied me through countless battles. Megnus, it's your turn to enter the arena." Adam threw out the Poké Ball.

Baton!

A breathtakingly beautiful Milotic makes its appearance.

"twitter...!"

Upon seeing Milotic appear, the Lizard King was immediately stunned by its beautiful appearance.

It's worth noting that while Sceptile and Milotic don't possess dragon attributes, their egg groups do, meaning their appearances actually appeal to each other's aesthetic preferences.

"Lizard King, calm down, it's a male," Xiao Mao reminded him.

Lizard King: (ΩДΩ)...!

What?! A male!

The Lizard King rarely falls in love, but it turns out he's fallen for a male elf—it's so heartbreaking for the lizard.

"Come back." Xiao Mao quickly recalled the Lizard King and observed Adam's Milotic.

【LV62 Milotic♂/King】

Adam's Milotic is indeed of Champion-level strength. New trainers without Champion-level Pokémon are basically no match for this Milotic.

“Mr. Adam, since you’re using Milotic, I’ll use my main Pokémon too,” said Gary.

“Is that so? Then let me take a good look,” Adam said.

Shigeru comes from the Kanto region, so his strongest Pokémon are naturally the ones he bred in the past.
